This means a Power View report will leave unused space along the
sides of the screen. One way you can reclaim a bit of this space is to
use filters rather than slicers. A slicer is placed in the report and takes
up needed space. Filters can be displayed alongside the report, saving
more space for the report. Filters also have the added benefits of:
• Providing a means of selecting and deselecting column members
without a keyboard (think touch screen)
• Exposing advanced filtering options, such as sliders to specify a
range filter for numeric columns

View report in Figure 6 contains the chart Outlays – Percent Of GDP
